The way to reclaim the "good power" of a name after something happens to tarnish it is to reverse it for the next generation of children who take it. So, instead of Sandy, use Ydnas. The tradition does permit for the "normalization" of a name's spelling, so it could acceptably be altered to be Ednas or even Edna with a middle initial S. This is why, for example, there are so many Anrita Ks walking around out there.

gopher321:People aren't taking this far enough. Slaughter everyone everywhere with the name 'Sandy'. That should solve the problem. At least, that's what the voices in my head say.

I dated a girl in high school who was named Sandy. When we were together (in the tenth grade), she was engaged to a 20-something named Leeroy, and was sleeping with him, her brother, step father and her dog. I know about her and her brother and the dog due to the polaroids that made it around school.

So, I say we compromise, instead of killing all named Sandy, let's start with the girl who blew her dog while her brother ate a hotdog out of her and see if we need to kill any more.
